Does a photo include cooking oil, sauces and hidden ingredients?
A photo cannot reliably reveal all oil, sauces or hidden ingredients. Calsa may show a separate oil or dressing estimate or ask what you cooked with. Check that line and adjust or remove it according to the meal.
Also check the selected food: some fried-food database values already include oil, so adding the same oil again would double-count it. For a sauce mixed through a dish, use the known ingredients when you have them. Treat an unknown restaurant recipe as uncertain rather than assuming the photo captured everything.
